This is true support damage play. This kind of build is something I would play with new players where I do decent damage and they are still learning the monster movements. Hand holding and not just straight up carrying them.
I seem to remember Shrapnel ammo was actually really decent in the base Rise "tower defense" mode. I'm not sure if that would translate to being decent in multi-monster hunts, or if it was just specifically that one gamemode, but I'm pretty sure it was not bad in that mode! Aside from that, however, the only case I've ever used Shrapnel has been if I either ran out of my main ammo and just needed a little bit of extra damage, or if I couldn't safely be in the appropriate range to use said main ammo.
One of the LBGs has rapid fire shrapnel 2, that's about all I remember. That and Sneak Attack worked ok with it. It has been a while since I've played MHR/SB.
Bloodlust, intrepid heart, and maybe powder mantle (not sure on that one) increase their meters or clear based on total MVs so something like shrapnel which has a low MV will just take more shots clear. I don't remember the actual numbers though so you might be right when you said ranged was doubled.

It was mostly good in Rampages because you'd be hitting 2-5 monsters at once with it and counter signal made you do dummy damage.

!!!! This is what I asked about months ago. Cool.
I use shrapnel to set off attached explosives because it pierces. But it sucks for general use….
Omg I forgot about it but yeah its very satisfying
Shrapnel was cool in Rampages I suppose? But yeah, use Spread lol
